Im trying to avoid speculation too and haven't seen any more aside from what has been published from the flight track. With regards to a "normal" crash, the biggest cause of aircraft crashes is pilot error resulting in Loss of Control in Flight or Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT). About 40% of aircraft crashes are at the final approach/ landing stage (significantly more than any other stage), things such as runway overruns (often caused by miscalculation of weather effects) or landing short of the runway (due to things like pilots loosing situational awareness and allowing speed to drop). It is uncommon for aircraft to suffer an event, during the climb phase (but once significantly clear from the ground), that leads to an incredibly rapid descent and crash. Historically, such events have been attributed due to few causes. I am avoiding explaining those causes as it never helps to speculate. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
